2023 Map of Capitol Peak SE

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this corner of Otero and Sierra Counties, where restricted military infrastructure meets a landscape shaped by ancient hydrological features. This arid basin is defined by the ephemeral Salt Creek, which feeds into the high-salinity environment of the Salina de San Andres. Small water sources such as Salt Springs and Malpais Spring provide critical relief in this desert floor, marking the few points of biological interest in a landscape primarily utilized for military testing and transit. The map details a complex grid of range roads, including Wsmr P Rt 9 and Wsmr S Rt 314, which serve as the primary conduits through the basin. This terrain reflects a modern era of government land management where natural features like salt flats and springs dictate the layout of high-security installations.
